My Year in Books 2017

By the Numbers:

Pages: 70,649 (approximate)

My most very favorite book of the year was a re-read, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. I love that book!
There is a tie for my favorite new read of 2017: Water Knife by Paolo Bacigalupi and All the Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders.
